True ram used

What are you doing to warrant putting 16, or even just 8 GiB of RAM in your machine?

What are you doing to warrant putting 16, or even just 8 GiB of RAM in your machine?

The games of today are pretty hard on most of the components of a pc and I have my main box that has 8 gigs and see a noticeble difference in seamless transitions when either going from one zone, next area, crowded areas with online gaming, etc so I am going to bring my new laptop up to at least that level and want matched because as u know it peforms better.

It also develops less stress on the cpu trying to compensate for what the RAM should be handling in the 1st place.



PS- any takers on 3 stix of Kingston 2gig 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333? -- Matched

Apparently I don't have enough ram to use Vegas Video Editor HD.. It doesn't seem to let me render videos without cutting off half way saying all the memory is used, despite having task manager open and only half is used. 4 GB of ddr3 ram just isn't enough I guess.

I don't know what you mean by the CPU compensating for what the RAM is supposed to be handling, unless you're talking about writing to a page file. In which games are you seeing a performance boost by using 8 GiB, rather than 4 GiB of memory, and how much memory is the process using for that to make sense? I don't recall ever seeing a game with a functioning main process eating up more than 2.5 GiB of memory.

I have 6 gigs and isnt nearly enough. My thing is I usually have skype, css, steam, eve online, firefox with around 30 tabs, megaupload, and maybe a few others i forgot to mention running all at the same time.

That's to be expected, though. That falls under the heavy multitasking provisions above.

just cause dennis is old doesn't mean he can't multitask.

who else do you think keeps the internet running?

That's why I made it a provision in absence of having an actual usage scenario to base my reply on. Without that, it's sorta like asking how much gas you need to drive an indeterminate distance in an unspecified vehicle. D:

I did, back when I was still employed.
